[MiniMac308]

Hello new users so give me a little slack on my posts please

I was just playing world of tanks and this was the 2nd blue screen thats happened to me while playing along with the game will randomly crash in mid-game.

I am newer to pc gaming been on pc for about a year so im not that experienced and dont have a list i should really do in this situation. My computer is also a custom build if that helps at all.

Replace Avast! with Microsoft Security Essentials (at least to test).

• avast! Uninstall Utility | Download aswClear for avast! Removal
• Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows

Free up the start-up, nothing except the antivirus is usually needed.

How would you want me to post the results just a post edit?

 

[koolkat77]

Just reply like you did right now

 

[MiniMac308]

ok well couldnt sleep so ran the chkdsk and the sfc scan and nothing came up on either of the scans.
How do i determine what driver i need from atheros?
I replaced Avast with MSE

If its wireless, match your device from here:

• ATHEROS Wireless drivers for Windows

If its not a wireless, match your device from here:

• ATHEROS Network drivers for Windows
